Lovely finish.

Up there with the legendary Nadal vs Federer 5 set epic imo, what a game :cool:

The_Baron · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

And it's over. Loved it

Freakbro · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

I'm exhausted watching that!

mmj_uk · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

Well I think it's safe to say Del Potro has won over a lot of fans with that effort, outstanding.

Purdy · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

Unbelievable match, pity DP lost hope he gets there next year

Can't see other two games touching that

Yas786 · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

Wow what a matchpoint to have won, well played Del Potro but Novak was a little bit stronger in the end.

Robbo · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:55

Super Novak takes it!

Think he'll win the final (more easily than this), no question about it.

The_Baron · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:56

Looks more like a clay court in parts now

manic111 · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:56

What a match, I can't remember seeing many better.

Irish_Tom · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:56

Amazing match. Both players left everything on the court.

Longest semi final in Wimbledon history. :cool:

Cosimo · 5 Jul 2013 at 17:57

Epic semi, shame that there had to be a loser!

epic.

i do like women's tennis but it's an absolute travesty how they get the same prize money as these guys. :/

Equality when things aren't equal, pretty stupid imo :rolleyes:

A lot of the women agree. It's just the people who run the game and have BS like equality to contend with that make the decisions because they fear a backlash from the feminist brigade.

It's a tight match but I suspect Djok will just squeeze a win out of it.

Cheeky flutter?

Merlin5 said:
LOl, ok. I'd like Del Potro to win but I think Djok will, so, I wager you my unopened box of jaffa cakes.

Ah well, pity, but at least my jaffa cakes are safe.

I don't really get why women don't play five sets. Are the women now less fit than the men who played five sets 50 years ago? Surely not.

^^Shame, that makes it 1-1 Merlin

There might be some other consumable treat up for a wager in the Murray match, I'll have to wait for a few games in before I decide who's going to win.

I also think women should play 5 sets, particularly considering the likes of serena williams and martina navratilova are more manly than the men.

Yas786 · 5 Jul 2013 at 18:11

Come on Jzerzy or however you spell your name

The_Baron · 5 Jul 2013 at 18:17

Here we go again. Come on Murray
